Hi,
I've been asking for some way to be able to stop syncing the apt repo
from the repository master host so I can prepare the release, and then
have the release people grab it from there. But that was never
implemented, so things still rely on me being available to
synchronously do the required steps, which is obviously not optimal.

I wasn't around yesterday, so I'm preparing the 15.0 packages now.
Will take an hour from now or so.
